We, the United States Government, have promised not to kill or even torture Eric Snowden. That's comforting to a man who is holed up in the Russian airport. I'm not sure but I don't think that the Russian airport is a five star accommodation. For Russia's part, they say they will not extradite...and never will.

I was not suprised when Snowden made these "revelations" about the NSA snooping on Americans, Foreign Governments and anybody on the planet. Isn't every government doing this? The Patriot Act gave the US permission to do this when it was written into law in the wake of 9/11.

In poll after poll, many Americans are not that concerned. For me, I'm in conflict of having "Big Brother" monitor me vs being safe. Or maybe it's just the illusion of safety.

How do you feel?
